Être heureux au travail : vers un modèle explicatif du bonheur au travail
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Positive psychology is “ the study of the conditions and processes that contribute to the flourishing or optimal functioning of people, groups, and institutions” (Gable and Haidt, 2005, p.104). Happiness is a central concept in positive psychology but curiously little studied at work. Eight hundred and forty-seven employees participated in this research which breaks down into two objectives : The first objective was to build a Francophone Scale of Happiness at Work (EBT) and then validate it through five studies. Study 1 created a work happiness tool consisting of 9 items. In studies 2 and 3, factor analysis (exploratory and confirmatory) of data collected from two samples of French employees revealed the one-dimensional factor structure of EBT and a good internal consistency (.89 Conbach’s alpha). The fitting indices of the measurement model are also quite correct. Study 4 reinforced the structure of the EBT showing positive and significant correlations with two dimensions of Kern's (2014) tool, The Workplace PERMA Profiler. The first dimension, Accomplishment at Work, the second, Work Relationships. Study 5 examined the cultural validity of EBT by comparing two samples, one collected in Canada and the other in France. The results suggest that EBT applies to French-speaking cultures.The second objective is to identify the links between happiness at work and "positive" variables such as personality traits and comfort at work. The results indicate that the participants are relatively happy in their work, that they have a rather enthusiastic, altruistic, quite conscientious, emotionally stable and open-minded personality. Nevertheless, they have a relatively weak attachment to their workplace, a moderate control over the management of their privacy in the workplace, even if they consider their workspace to be quite comfortable and functional. The three concepts from positive psychology (happiness at work, comfort at work and personality in its positive dimension) are correlated. Partial mediation effects from Happiness at Work are found between the Opening dimension of the BFI-Fr and the Control / Privacy dimension of the Workplace Satisfaction Scale and between the BFI-Fr Neuroticism dimension and the Comfort / Functionality dimension of the satisfaction scale towards the workspace.EBT has satisfactory psychometric characteristics and can therefore be a valuable tool for occupational psychologists and human resource managers concerned with the happiness of workers in the workplace.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
